Westpark, Public park in Aachen, Germany
Westpark spans across green spaces between Vaalser Strasse and Junkerstrasse, featuring walking paths, sports facilities, and a central pond.
The park originated in 1882 when textile manufacturer Emil Lochner purchased the area known as Kirschbenden, establishing it as Lochnergarten until 1920.
The park housed a glass palace that accommodated 3,000 visitors and hosted international performers, including Buffalo Bill between 1888 and 1904.
The park remains open throughout the year with designated barbecue areas and sports facilities, enforcing quiet hours from 10 PM onwards.
Between 1886 and 1905, the park operated as a zoological garden with exotic animals including lions, monkeys, and elephants.
